In the Antipasti selection, we have many amazing dishes, like the Chilled Seafood Selection, featuring prawns, marinated chilli mussels, calamari and scallops, and a Kingfish Crudo finished with a cucumber and chilli dressing. For the larger plates, the Veal Milanese will be very popular, and whole cooked wood-fired John Dory is a very special dish. Also, the hand-made pastas, featuring a Goat Cheese ravioli and the Tiramisu is a special signature dish and is finished at the table.
